• .NET Development Asp.net web telnet client problems

  I am trying to create a telnet client that will connect to several of my network devices on campus and change settings on the devices. So far I can connect with the code below, but I can't seem to get the correct return data from the device. Sometimes I get about 100 bytes and other times I get 3000 bytes. I even put a thread sleep but that still give me different return data from different devices. I know I am going to have to use an asynccallback but I just don't know how to do that. Any help would be great. I have also tried to use networkstream.dataavailable but this still is sporatic data. <% @ Page Language ="VB" debug ="true" %> <% @ Import Namespace = "System.Web" %> ...Show All

• Visual C++ winnt.h(222): Error C2146 ...

• SQL Server RS.EXE parameters not working

  Hi Everyone, I am having a problem with the RS utility not recognizing my query parameters that I am passing to my timed subscription. I have set up my report with a "WorkOrder" parameter. I have created a trigger that causes my subscription to fire, and that trigger passes in the workorder number to the utility. The subscription fires successfully, but I am getting a blank report. I set the parameter value to "can be blank" so that I could create my subscription w/o an error. I know that my subscription id is correct when I use the fire method, because I DO get the appropriate report. I am also having the same problem when I actually log in to the report server and execute the utility from the command line. I ...Show All

• .NET Development Too many arguments specified error in stored proc

  I'm getting a 'too many arguments specified' error when I call my stored proc. I've assigned the stored proc to a SqlDataAdapter and a DataSet which is called when the SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand is called. I've checked the numbers of variables and I can't see where there is a mismatch in the number of arguments being called. I assume that this error has something to do with how I am retrieving the SQL autonumbered identity column (CitationID) with SCOPE_IDENTITY(). If someone could look over my code and let me know what I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. Stored Proc: ALTER PROCEDURE tbl_Citations_AddNewRow @CitationType nvarchar (6), @ARTFlag nvarchar (7), @Title nvarchar (1000), @PublicationDate date ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista XOML files In WF Visual Designers

  Hi, When we create a workflow application that comprises of around 10 XOML files - and each one of them contains around 4 activities - the development environment that meets both s/w and h/w criteria for VS 2005 and latest VS extensions for WF - slows down frustratingly. Any activity (not in WF terms :-) ) such as opening up the XOML files, dragging and dropping an activity into the designer, saving the files is frustratingly slow and CPU utilization shoots upto more than 90% (though the development environment is 1GB RAM with enough hard disk space). Can anybody suggest the reasons and remedies for this problem Thanks, Ganesan Ganesan - I tried to replicate your scneario with around 15 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Publishing Load test results

  simple question: when I select the Publish Test Results button in the test results window, I receive a message saying: "The current team project does not a have any build. A build is required in order to publish test results" While I understand the statement, I have no idea what to do. Please advise. thanks okay, now I see. the development team currently doesn't have any build types. I don't undestand how this so because we test new builds everyday. I see that if I check my solution into souce control then it becomes an available solution in the New Build Type dialog. so, if I create a new build type, name it "QA", and only add the solution containing my Load Test, can ...Show All

• SQL Server Proc Results to Excel Workbook

  Hello, I have tried to use a DaraReader Source to execute a SQL Server 2000 proc, and send the results to an Excel Destination. The proc is named spv_CDGetFuelManDuplicates. Within the proc, temporary tables are created and dropped. When I attempt to set 'Exec dbo . spv_CDGetFuelManDuplicates' for the SqlCommand property of the DataReader, I get an error message indicating that my temporary tables are invalid objects.

• Visual Basic software to download for installing web cam

  I am trying to install a web cam. However, it was given to me so, I have no disc for the installation. I am not very literate when it comes to the different types of hard or software. (it took three weeks for me to get my printer to work) Anyway, I believe it is an older model, the only thing I see on it is 'CREATIVE' on the front, then CREATIVE LABS INC on the back. I am also having a problem with spywarequake. There is a little blinking icon that turns from a question mark into a red circle with a line through it. It constantly blinks, then I get the 2"x2" pop up on a constant basis. It says to 'click her' for all the software that I will need(it says my computer is in critical condition due to a virus or two.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug in Toolstrip menu?

  I have a menu driven application. Everything implemented so far works fine both in the IDE and as a published version. I opened the project as I wanted to add one final item to a drop down menu (which I added a previous item to, without a problem, a few hours previously). The new item does not get added to the menu. If I try again or click anywhere other than inside the empty box, the IDE then shows an error stating that VBE must restart. I had made a copy of my project directory earlier in the day, when I was satisfied that everything worked as intended. The same thing happens when I opened this version of the project. I assume that there is not a limit of 5 items in a drop down menu. Anyone experienced a similar problem ...Show All
